Hi all,

(replying to all but as a subscriber to stable only)

I'm not a kernel coder but have several 4.4 (kernel.org stable series) 
servers using bcache, so I'd love to see (possibly some of?) these in 
4.4 if they are relevant and apply without any significant work needed.

This series was CC'd to stable but I don't see any info of how far back 
any of them might be applicable, if at all.

If any of you guys are able to give a hint with this series just along 
the lines of "this one is/is not applicable to 4.4" then I'm happy to 
apply them, resolve any simple context issues, use, and report back with 
clean patches.

thanks,
Eddie
